Fantastic. I've made these ribs three times and (sadly) we never have leftovers. I use the dry rub as instructed but since this sauce received poor reviews, we use a mustard/vinegar based bbq sauces... --If you've never tried the mustard based sauces, you haven't lived. They are a little slice of tangy awesomeness.

These ribs are super yummy and I am making them again for sure. I used the extra meaty shorter ribs and baked at 325 for one hour, then uncovered with sauce for another 15 mins. with 3 lbs. of ribs only.

These ribs turned out super tasty but I was disappointed that they were not very spicy, next time I will add some fresh chipotle to the sauce and a little more chilly powder to the rub.
However, these ribs were still really tasty and I would definitely make them again!

I understand both the detractors and the apologists of this recipe. I had one bite that was divine but overall felt it missed the mark a bit. I agree that there's too much cumin in the rub, but that's easy to adjust. The rub is excellent and is the best part of the recipe. The sauce can't be judged until it's cooked fully on to the ribs. Having said that, I'll probably try a different sauce next time. If the rub is a 10, the sauce is an 8. I'll be looking for that perfect 10 sauce next time!

The best oven ribs I've ever had. Made
these with a spicy ketchup (Melinda's
habanero) because it was what I had on
hand. I worried the sauce was too spicy
but it turned out to be perfect on the
ribs. Will add chilis to regular
ketchup next time!

Holy smokes, these ribs are to die for! I did them in the oven, as per the directions, as our BBQ is out of commission. My husband stopped talking during the meal - he just ate. And ate, and ate, and ate.
Will make again - likely many, many times!

I cooked ribs for the first time on New Year's Eve
using this recipe. They turned out great and
were very moist and delicious. The sauce is
exceptionally flavorful.
I used 2 racks of spare ribs instead of baby backs
with no problem. I would recommend making
the extra effort and grilling the ribs at the end. It
makes them crispy and lends some smoke flavor.
Goes great with the black eye pea corn muffin
recipe on epicurious.
